post positioning

i’d recommend looking for a theme that already does that and tweak it further. arras theme can do that kind of thing…

thanks a lot, that is a good idea, I’ll probably do that. but I’m curious as to if this would be hard for me to do from scratch, I’ve been reading up on creating wordpress themes from scratch (never done this before, although I have modified themes in the past) and I think this is something I’m very capable of doing, this was the only thing I was unsure about.

So if anyone knows about doing this from scratch I would appreciate it. I just don’t understand how you would tell the loop to place its content inside certain divs, and after that, then what? is there a way to make wordpress generate a new divs to place posts inside? Maybe I’m just over thinking all of this and there is a much simpler way of doing it.

Thank you wordpress community ??

It should be easy enough to – although it can get a little fiddly when you have to deal with varying post heights. Effectively, all you need to do is to apply a fixed with to each post container (say 25% for 4 columns) and then float the post container’s left.
